SAFETY ATTACHMENT FOR LAMPS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 23, 1915.

Application filed December 14, 1914. Serial No. 877,189.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLAYTON VoN CULIN, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety Attachmentsfor Lamps; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to safety attachments for oil lamps and isespecially designed for use on lamps used in connection with incubatorsand brooders.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficientattachment for preventing the collar and burner of a lamp from becomingoverheated to such an extent as to cause explosion.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists ofcertain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement ofparts as will be more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings :-Figure 1 represents a side elevation of alamp equipped with this improved attachment; Fig. 2 is a detailperspective view of the attachment detached; Fig. 3 is a verticaltransverse section through the water tank.

In the embodiment illustrated, a collar 1 is shown externally threadedat its lower end for attachment to a lamp and internally threaded at itsupper end to receive a lamp burner. Coiled around this collar 1 is asmall pipe 2 having both ends thereof connected to and communicatingwith a water tank 3 which may be of any desired size and constructionsuitable for the purpose to which it is designed and which is providedwith an opening 4: in its top to insure the cooling of the watercontained therein. This pipe 2 may be coiled around the collar anydesired number of times, three coils being Copies of this patent maybeobtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patentshere shown which it is throught will be nected therewith, thus avoidingany possibility of the oil in the lamp becoming heated to such an extentas sion. This is especially useful for incubator and brooder lamps, thusavoiding the necessity of the attendant being required to watch the lampto prevent explosions.

While I have shown the coiled pipe as encircling and secured to thecollar 1,it is obvious that this collar 1 may be omitted and the coilplaced over and around the ordinary collar attached to the lamp.

I cla1m as my invention 1. A safety attachment for lamps comprising atank, a pipe connected at both ends with said tank and having a coilformed intermediately of the ends thereof with the members of the coilsuperposed and arranged in vertical alinement.

2. A safety attachment. for lamps comprising a tank, a pipe rigidlysecured at both ends to said tank and communicating therewith and havinga coil formed intermediately of the ends thereof, and a collar disposedin said coil and secured thereto,

said tank being supported by said coil when applied.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand 1n presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
